    We found this little yellow beast when cleaning out the father in laws house. So far it works better than the old shovel I was using.

    This is the one that we have. I want to get a bigger one but have to wait till we get a bigger house and driveway! It's a Toro Power Clear 621E. Works great though. Power-Clear-621E-38452co2422_sn_pwrclr_621E_38452_r.jpg

    Fitz, glad to see you went with boss, imo they are the best on the market and are made right here in northern michigan, (iron mountain). Close to your hometown.

    Huh? Did you mean to say screen or were you referring to the season. Because out here there is not much in the way of seasons. Temp wise anyways. The plants and the bass know seasons I guess from the duration of sunlight.

    Greg how well does that work with the blade behind the tractor but facing forward? Don't you have to drive through the deep snow first to plow?

    Here's something to try out if you need to clean snow off gravel or a grass area and don't want to tear either up! . . And you can use it on concrete or blacktop too without doing any damage.

    Take a piece of ''black ABS pipe'' and cut it open so it can fit over the cutting edge on your blade. . You can also use it on a rear blade and even on a front loader bucket. . The pipe will slide across the top of the gravel/grass etc.. etc...!

    A few pictures when I tried it out. . First pic shows it on the blade.

    No pics, but I run a Hiniker straight blade on my Chevy, a 54 inch Cycle County plow on my Suzuki Vinson, and a couple of Toro single stages for the back of the truck on the plow route.

    Brad, it works great, You definitely drive through the deep snow first to plow. With snow, speed is your friend. you need to go fast to keep the snow sliding off the blade. That blade is fully hydraulic and weighs about 800 lbs. In the pictures the blade is fully offset to the side an additional 30 inches in order to push the snow further off the road. Got to leave room for new snow falls. Besides having skid shoes to regulate the blades cut, I have a slotted pipe on the cutting edge full length of the blade. This set up skims everything off of the gravel leaving the gravel in place.

    How many inches of snow can an ATV with chains push before it is too much?
